Up for sale is my 20” 1993 titanium/porsche green Kona Explosif in complete catalogue spec (see text above catalogue pic). Excellent, mintish condition, bought last fall off original owner who had almost never taken it off road(!). Almost no scratches, one miniscule dent in the top tube, barely visible. Some superficial chain-suck.

Rides really, really nicely, great spring in the prestige tubes. Seat tube 20” (50,8 cm) c-t and top tube 23-23,5" (59,5 cm) c-c. Top tube is actually same length as a sus corrected 1994 onwards 19" Kona, so you don't need to be very tall for this bike. I'm a little under 6'2" (187 cm), and it suits me great, although I think everything from 5'11" to 6'3" would be good. A shorter 130 mm Velocity stem will also come along.

Asking £420 shipped(!) to the UK, insured and well packed (was £480). The bike really is in immaculate condition.

Wow. I've had fun to spot difference between catalogue example. Even better than catalogue with rigid forks. Someone will be happy.

You could choose between a rigid P2 and a suspension fork when buying an Explosif in 1993, so both rigid/sus fork are actually catalogue spec. The pic above is from the US Kona catalogue, in Europe/UK I think the '93 bikes were all with rigid P2's by default, although I must look it up to be sure. I guess it would be more correct to post the Europe catalogue pic, but the 93 Konas were two-coloured, and mine is what is known as the world-coloured, titanium green one.
